Hi Baltasar,

Thanks for your reply. I feel as though I have tried everything ( but
obviously have missed something )

In any case, I tried "lmtpd -a" and tested the connections again.

Below is the output from lmtptest, cyradm and the imtest to the imapd port.

Still no joy via lmtp.

# From the lmtptest interaction
mail from:<sforster at kidik.net>
250 2.1.0 ok
rcpt to:<sforster at monkey.kidik.net>
550-Mailbox unknown.  Either there is no mailbox associated with this
550-name or you do not have authorization to see it.
550 5.1.1 User unknown

# The output from /var/log/mail.log showing unsuccesful listing of
